The List, through 2013.

We've spent the last couple weekends developing a new (seemingly undeveloped) sandstone sector in Sinks Canyon.  It's been called "The Beach," because it has warm temps, and sandy stone.

Shane on the first ascent of "Black Slabbath" at the Beach.

But we need to finish some more lines before I can do a complete post on the area.  It's hard to say how long it will take to send our projects there.  So it could be a little while before I'm ready post about anything new.  But I've still got some older things to post about.   So much happened last year; I felt it was time to get it all organized.

Below is an attempt to compile recent Lander area bouldering first ascents.  A few of the ones below went up in 2012, or earlier, but the vast majority of the listed lines were done in 2013.  The order of the list for each bouldering area is almost random.  I just listed the lines as they came to mind, or I found them online, and then cut and pasted them into the right geographic area.  This list will help me make sure that I don't forget lines when it's time to write the next guide, and give all of you some idea of the development that happened in the Lander area over the last year.  But this list isn't comprehensive at this point.  Many problems done during the last year by Chris, Justin, Tim, Tony, Danny, and others, are missing from this list.  I'd love to include them, but I don't have the necessary information yet.  Many mysterious new lines of chalked holds appeared at Oz, Devil's Kitchen, and the Rock Shop all last season.  And hopefully I'll track down the names, grades, and first ascentionists of those lines eventually.

The number of difficult first ascents done by visiting climbers wasn't quite as high in 2013 as it was in 2012. But the number of high quality problems in the V4-V7 range near Lander increased considerably last year.  Kyle's ascent of War Cry V12 stands out as the most significant new problem of 2013 based on its combination of quality and difficulty.  

The list was put together using: Jesse Brown's 8a scorecard, Facebook posts, e-mails and texts sent to me by first ascentionists, this blog and a couple other blogs.  If you know of some new problems that I'm missing, please send me information.  

In conclusion, over 130 new boulder problems were put up in the Lander area during the last year!  And so far we've been keeping up the same pace of development in 2014.  More on the new lines (hopefully) soon...
